Silky piled fabric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

velvet

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">silky piled fabric</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for velvet that I've seen before include "This glove shows gentleness - perhaps to deceive" , "Soft-surfaced fabric" , "Iron fist may be encased in a . . . . . . glove" , "Dense silky fabric" , "woven fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Irish Times.
